Annabel Fisher

In 2003, I was diagnosed with M.E./C.F.S. (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). I had ignored all the signals my body was sending me, all its cries for help, and I continued working as a teacher. Within 4 months of diagnosis, I was bed bound. I used a wheelchair on the rare occasions I needed to leave the house. Aside from feeling utterly exhausted all the time, I suffered constant muscle and joint pain, noise and light sensitivities, intense headaches, digestive disorders and food sensitivities, insomnia and depression.

In early 2004, my life was forever changed: I was introduced to EFT. It was the ray of hope I was so desperately searching for.

I had weekly private sessions with my EFT practitioner and began using it daily on myself. What I found so fascinating was as I addressed and resolved emotional issues, such as the anger, fear and hopelessness I was feeling, my physical symptoms started to reduce and disappear. In about 4 months, my chronic pain had reduced by 60% and within 6 months, the pain was reduced to almost 100%. Within a year, the majority of my symptoms had gone and I was in full control of the illness.

I realized EFT was a powerful tool and I became committed to helping others experiencing similar difficulties. In late 2004, I was able to train as an EFT Practitioner. I was still using a cane to walk and I had to pace my activities carefully, but I was in control of my illness instead of it controlling me. Feeling passionate about EFT, it seemed a natural step to qualify as an EFT Practitioner and later as an EFT Trainer, drawing on my teaching background.

Since discovering EFT, I have been treated by Gary Craig (the founder of EFT) and received advanced training from him in England and America. I have also received specific training from allergy specialist and energy psychologist, Sandi Radomski. By 2006, I was fully mobile, strong and healthy.

I had a successful EFT practice and ran regular training courses in Cornwall, England before moving to BC, Canada in 2006. I am the founder of the Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques (AAMET) in Canada which strives for a high standard of practice, ethics and the importance of the client's welfare within the field of Meridian Energy Techniques.

In the course of my research, I realised that a thorough knowledge and understanding of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) would greatly enhance how I used and applied EFT with my clients. Since becoming a licensed NLP Practitioner in May 2007, I have found the speed with which results are achieved is faster, EFT is more effective and elegant, and the way in which the client views their issue shifts faster. Hypnotherapy, too, greatly enhances EFT's application, enabling the stubborn subconscious to shift perspective and accept the possibility of change and healing.
